1. Bezalel and Aholiab worked, along with every man wise of heart—in whom Yahweh had placed wisdom and understanding to know how to perform all the labor of the sanctuary service, according to everything Yahweh commanded.
2. Moses called Bezalel and Aholiab and every wisehearted man whom Yahweh had put wisdom in his heart, everyone whose heart moved him to come to the work to do it.
3. They received from Moses all the offering that the sons of Israel had brought for the work of serving the sanctuary, to make it. And they brought voluntary offerings to him every morning, still more.
4. All the wise men doing all the work of the sanctuary came, every man from his work which they were doing.
5. They said to Moses, "The people are bringing more than enough for the service of the work which Yahweh commanded to make."
6. Moses commanded, and they proclaimed aloud through the camp, saying, "No man or woman shall make any more work for the sanctuary's contribution." So the people were restrained from bringing.
7. For the material was enough for all the work to make it, and more.
8. All the wisehearted among those doing the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains of twisted fine linen, blue, purple, and scarlet, with cherubim—the work of skilled design they made them.

20. He made upright boards for the tabernacle from acacia wood.
21. Each board was ten cubits long and a cubit and a half broad.
22. Each board had two tenons joined to each other. He made all the boards of the tabernacle likewise.
23. He made the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards for the south side facing south.
24. He made forty silver sockets under the twenty boards, two sockets under one board for its two tenons, and two sockets under another board for its two tenons.

34. He covered the boards with gold, made their rings of gold as places for the bars, and covered the bars with gold.
